How can you use Hess’s law to determine a reaction’s enthalpy?

Chemistry

mash [69]3 years ago
3 0
Hess law is due to enthalpy being a state function, which allows us to calculate the overall change in enthalpy by simply summing up changes for each step of the way, until product is formed. All steps have to proceed at the same temperature and the equations for the individual steps must balance out.

Water is a produced when 30.0 grams of hydrogen reacts with 80.0 grams of oxygen what is the limiting reagent
irakobra [83]
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows
2H₂ + O₂ --> 2H₂O
stoichiometry of H₂ to O₂ is 2:1
number of H₂ moles - 30.0 g / 2 g/mol = 15 mol 
number of O₂ moles - 80.0 g / 32 g/mol = 2.5 mol
limiting reactant is the reagent in which only a fraction is used up in the reaction
if H₂ is the limiting reactant 
if 2 mol of H₂ requires 1 mol of O₂
then 15 mol of H₂ requires 1/2 x 15.0 = 7.5 mol of O₂
but only 2.5 mol of O₂ is required 
this means that O₂ is the limiting reagentt and H₂ is in excess

Why can't methanol, CH3OH, be used as a solvent for sodium amide, NaNH2? Sodium amide is nonpolar and methanol is polar. Sodium
Elodia [21]

Answer: sodium amide undergoes an acid -base reaction

Explanation:

sodium amide is a ionic compound and basically exists as sodium cation and amide anion. Amide anion is highly basic in nature and hence as soon as  there is amide anion generated in the solution , Due to its very pronounced acidity it very quickly abstracts the slightly acidic proton available on methanol.

This leads to formation of ammonia and sodium methoxide.

Hence sodium amide reacts with methanol and abstracts its only acidic proton and form ammonia and sodium Methoxide.

Hence the 3rd statement is a corrects statement.

So we cannot use methanol for sodium amide because sodium amide itself would react with methanol and the inherent molecular natur of sodium amide would then change.

The 1st and 2nd statements both are incorrect because both the compounds methanol as well as sodium amide have dipole moments and hence are polar molecules.

The 4th statement is also incorrect as both the molecules have dipole moment and hence there would be ion-dipole forces operating between them.

The following reaction occurs:

NaNH₂+CH₃OH→NH₃+CH₃ONa

Hydrogen gas and fluorine gas will react to form hydrogen fluoride gas. What is the standard free energy change for this reactio
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

\Delta G=-541.4kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary to write out the described chemical reaction as shown below:

H_2+F_2\rightarrow 2HF

Now, we set up the expression for the calculation of the standard free energy change, considering the free energy of formation of each species, specially those of H2 and F2 which are both 0 because they are pure elements:

\Delta G=2\Delta G_f^{HF}-(\Delta G_f^{H_2}+\Delta G_f^{F_2})\\\\\Delta G=2*-270.70kJ/mol-(0kJ/mol+0kJ/mol)\\\\\Delta G=-541.4kJ/mol

Regards!

What class of enzyme catalyzes addition of oxygen?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The answer is Lyase

Explanation:

Any enzyme that catalyzes the addition or removal of the elements water (hydrogen, oxygen), ammonia (nitrogen, hydrogen), or carbon dioxide (carbon, oxygen) at double bonds, as defined in physiology. Decarboxylases, for example, remove carbon dioxide from amino acids, while dehydrases eliminate water.
